I'm a doctor dedicated to improving health. Lucky son, husband, father. Asking questions to help patients, health professionals, citizens. Neutral good.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

But vice survives, the passions ne’er decay
